Nerve conduction velocity is an important aspect of nerve conduction studies. It is the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway. Conduction velocities are affected by a wide array of factors, including age, sex, and various medical conditions.he purpose of these studies is to determine whether nerve damage is present and how severe that damage may be. Nerve conduction studies are performed as follows: 1  Two electrodes are attached to the subject's skin over the nerve being tested. 2  Electrical impulses are sent through one electrode to stimulate the nerve.
Mount Olympus. Written By: Mount Olympus, Modern Greek Ãlympos, mountain peak, the highest (9,570 feet [2,917 m]) in Greece. It is part of the Olympus massif near the Gulf of ThÃ©rmai (Modern Greek: ThermaÃ¯kÃ³s) of the Aegean Sea and lies astride the border between Macedonia (MakedonÃ­a) and Thessaly (ThessalÃ­a).
The Olympic Mountains. Set on the Olympic Peninsula of western Washington, the highest point of the Olympic Mountains is on Mount Olympus at 7,962 ft (2,427 m). The western face of this mountain range faces the Pacific Ocean and thus receives very high rainfall each year. Most of the mountains are located within the bounds of the Olympic National Park.
